Hi Everyone.
Hoping to get some guidance. I've got a Q30 Tech with factory LED lights. However, the passenger side daytime running lights upper brow section has stopped working. Can this be repaired with a bulb change or fuse check etc..? I don't particularly want to buy a whole headlight unit. All the other lights in the unit work fine including the lower section of the day time running light. I've attached a pic.

Thank you in advance.

Are you still in warranty? If so, this should be covered.

Afraid not. Out of warranty by 3months 😞

That's unfortunate.

AFAIK the headlights are only sold as sealed units. The headlamp system on these vehicles is quite complex. There is actually a headlamp control unit embedded in the front combination lamp. This headlamp control unit receives and interprets CAN-Bus data to control headlamp functions.

Managed to get it fixed under warranty.. 🙂
The led headlamps are very expensive.. just over £1000 for the unit itself.. glad I didn't have to pay that.

Hi. I managed to get it fixed under warranty. Don't think there was a simple fix. The units are quite expensive and are sealed units. Try calling the dealers if you are out of warranty and see of they can do a deal as these units are supposed to last the lifetime of the car. Good luck.
